If you are doing any shopping today or tomorrow be sure to check your e-mail! I received an e-mail with the coupon offer for $5 (5,000 Balance Reward Points) wyb $20 or more valid thru 9/22. This is the same offer as the Catalina that was being printed earlier this week but I know not everyone got it. If you didn’t get the e-mail you can also try texting POINTS to 21525 to your mobile device and you can just show the response or the e-mail to get this deal.
Here’s the shop I did to get my points. I stuck to a list of items I knew I needed and I was able to get them for 22¢ each or $2.69 for the whole SHOP! WOO HOO!

I was VERY happy with my deal! Also, the Scotch coupons are one per transaction (if you are wondering why I only used one for the Greener Cleaners). If you head out today you can also check out my additional scenario ideas HERE.

That’s odd my Walgreens ad just has the 1.99 coupon for the sponges. Nothing about B1G1. Don’t understand about using only 1 Greener q?
I believe those sponges are on sale buy 1, get 1 free as a September monthly deal. This week’s ad has an IVC coupon that makes them $1.99 each.
So are they labeled in the store then? Do you know why she only was able to use one of the green coupons?
See the last paragraph of Christie’s post for the answer to your question.
I used one of these coupons that I had rec’d. during the week. Do you know if we can use the one from our email also, or is it just one per account?
I’m wondering the same thing. 🙂
I’ve heard from some people who were able to use both in different transactions on the same card but there are no guarantees!
I couldn’t use the 5,000 point coupon with my manu coupons. Wags said I had to spend $20 even after my coupons. Frustrated!
With the coupon for the 5000 points you have to spend $20 after all in store coupons and instant value coupons only. So basically if you that glade item above in the transaction you need to make sure you have something that is $2 more. Does that sense? It is the same way when the coupons print that say $2 off $10 or $5 of $20 that print to use with balance reward cards you have to the spend the requesed amount, you have to spend that amount after all walgreens coupons not manufactor coupons. So you would have the cashier ring your items, get to the right $ amount, scan all walgreens coupons make sure that your subtotal is still at least the amount requested, scan the coupon in this case the 5000 points, it will pop up on the screen as accepted continue scanning either any other items you have, or manufactor coupons. Then you have your total.
(I’m a manager at Walgreens, so I am well versed in this area)
If you look at the terms of getting the points, it says you will not earn them if you use redemption dollars (register rewards) or store credit.
I will have to check it out again, but I am pretty sure that as long as you do not redeem points and your total is above what is required after walgreens coupons, you should be able to use the RR and get the points. i will get back to you in a little bit as I am heading over to my store right now to take the keys back and i will check it out
did not get a $2 kotex
@ Lily… The $2 kotex she has listed is a printable. I just clicked on it and its still available. 🙂
Where in the coupon policy does it say $20 before manufacturers coupons. My Walgreens would not give me the $5 in points inless I paid 20 after all coupons. We’re they correct?
No they weren’t.
Do the points show up right away? My receipt shows that the coupon was scanned, but I didn’t get my points.
They should. Call Walgreens Corporate and they’ll add the points. You’ll just need your receipt. 🙂
No need to call corporate you just go online to the balance rewards link and you can do it yourself online.
I know the twenty dollars has to be reached after all walgreens coupons and sales, but do they consider RR’s as walgreens coupons, even though they are manufacturer?
No the RR shouldn’t count in the $20 since just like you said they are MQ. 🙂
Bummer this is not my lucky week at Walgreens…no catalina, no email and no response to the text points
Can I use this coupon for the 5,ooo pts with other items that will give pts and still get those pts too?
Yes you can. 🙂
I was just at Walgreen’s Friday and spent over $60. Did not get the $5 coupon. Checked my email, did not get one! This makes me angry.
The coupon printed randomly, I would make sure that you have the correct email attached to your card and also check your junk email.
You would have had to be in the store shopping prior go Friday to get the coupon in the store as well.
I open on Wednesday mornings and it was printing for almost every customer that checked out. I do not remember getting one when I checked out on Thursday and the coupon started on Friday and goes through Sunday.
How are you supposed to know what day to go in order to get the coupon? I have the correct email address associated with my card. No coupons for me! Perhaps I should stop shopping at Walgreens. Does Walgreens have any kind of ;policy about items ringing up incorrectly? Some stores give you the item free.
My Walgreen’s today tried to tell me that all my coupons had to be scanned first before the 5,000pt coupon (she said that before it wouldn’t let her scan any coupons after), but I told the cashier that I was told it was to be rung up first. She said okay I will try and it worked just fine, so I was able to get my deals. Also, thank you for letting me know I could get pts on other things as well along with the 5,000pt coupon. I was able to do the Renu deal also, so I received 10,000pts back on my transaction.
I did this deal last night end up paying $21 for dove body wash, Ocel-o sponges, 2 kingsize oreo and 6 snickers fun size bags. The cashier said that the 5000 points would be earned after all the coupons and discounts have been taken. I was not able to use my RRs too because it will again lower my total purchase amount below $20
I texted POINTS to that number, but I never got an email or text with the coupon. Boo! 🙁
My neice has just started couponing and was very excited to get this coupon. She planned her trip only to get to a Closed store on the last day to use it. 🙁 Her local Walgreens is closed on Sundays.
